    There’s a strong case to be made the Rise Of Skywalker was the shit-show it was because Carrie Fisher died. The idea for the trilogy (as little of a plan as there actually was) was for the first film to centre Han, the second to centre Luke, and the third to centre Leia.

    Then Fisher died and they had to rework the entire film without any change to the release schedule. And they reanimated her corpse in the most unconvincing and disrespectful way.

    I’m not saying the film would have been good - because it probably wouldn’t have been - but I don’t think it would have been the silly, incoherent mess that it actually was. And it’d have been nice for Fisher to be able to give Leia a proper send-off, especially as the character was what catapulted her into stardom in the first place.

    John Cazale - every film he was in was Oscar nominated for Best Picture, so you’d imagine this extra one would have a shot at being good too.

    This summer…“Who? Me? King? We-he-he-heeeell, I have been called a lot worse, sugar”…Chris Farley is…“no, no, no, no, those were the guys that got em, see? I-I-I just took care of it for ya! Does this look like the face of a guy who just killed a king? :D”…Macbeth. “-in a horseless cart DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!”

      This would be great. As a huge fan of Almost Heroes, I really wish Chris Farley had gotten a chance to do more historical comedies.

    Riding high on the success of Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar, Disney decides to pilfer from Shakespeare this time. In March of 1995, the world witnesses the release of Disney’s Othello. The entire reason for this movie’s existence is to have Gilbert Gottfried as Iago. Not just like a funny casting joke, he’s the parrot from Aladdin. He wears like a hat and vest in this one or something, and no one ever mentions Aladdin or Agrabah, but it’s like Baloo in TailSpin, you know damn well it’s the same dude.

      Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.

      I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.

      Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.

      Damn, what even was Tailspin? What possessed Disney to add another character to the roster of ones that go on to have new roles beyond their original 30 years after Michael Mouse?

    Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I’d cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

      Michael Clarke Duncan to do a mulriverse style team up with Vincent D’Onofrio against Ben Afleck and Charlie Cox. There’s a good chance it would be a disaster, but I would still love to see it.

    I could go for another Farley + Spade buddy movie but at their ages they would be now. I wonder what that would look like in 2025.
